Easter Lake Park – Des Moines, Iowa

Easter Lake Park is shady and green, with several trails to choose from. Several playgrounds are available for playing, with Polk County’s only covered bridge along the trail. We have hiked the Wymore Trail; there is a mix of grass and paved trails available. While the beach is currently defunct with the lake drained (as of summer 2017), there is a cool firetruck playground on that side of the park.
